COVINGTON, La., July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hornbeck Offshore
Services, Inc. (NYSE: HOS) announced today results for the second quarter
ended June 30, 2009. Following are highlights for this period and the
Company's future outlook:
-- Two additional DP-2 new gen OSV newbuilds were placed in service in
late June 2009
-- Company reaffirms growth capex and estimated delivery date guidance
for remaining OSVs and MPSVs
-- Recently awarded three-year contract extensions for two DP-1 200 class
new gen OSVs in Qatar
-- Recently awarded two-year contract extension for one DP-1 240 class
new gen OSV in Mexico
-- Recently awarded two-year time charters for four DP-1 200 class new
gen OSVs in Brazil
-- Contract backlog for new generation OSV vessel-days increases to 54%
for 2H 2009 and 41% for 2010
-- Company books pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $26.7 million for
the Downstream segment
-- Company revises annual 2009 EBITDA and earnings guidance, but
reaffirms ample liquidity for newbuilds
Second quarter 2009 revenues decreased 6.3% to $97.9 million compared to
$104.5 million for the second quarter of 2008. Operating income was $5.0
million, or 5.1% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $40.8
million, or 39.0% of revenues, for the prior-year quarter. Net income for the
second quarter of 2009 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared
to $25.2 million, or $0.93 per diluted share for the year-ago quarter.
Operating income and net income, as reported, include a non-cash asset
impairment charge of $25.8 million ($16.2 million after-tax, or $0.60 per
diluted share) related to certain of the Company's Downstream vessels and a
$0.9 million ($0.6 million after-tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) non-cash
impairment charge for unamortized goodwill associated with the Company's
Downstream segment. Excluding these special non-cash charges, operating
income was $31.7 million, or 32.4% of revenues, and net income was $17.3
million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2009. EBITDA
for the second quarter of 2009 was $49.3 million compared to second quarter
2008 EBITDA of $53.8 million. The decrease in revenues and EBITDA was due to
a year-over-year decline in fleetwide effective dayrates for the Company's
Downstream segment, partially offset by an increase in Upstream revenues
driven by fleet growth. Included in second quarter 2008 EBITDA and net income
was a $2.0 million ($1.3 million after-tax, or $0.05 per diluted share) gain
on the May 2008 sale of the Cape Scott, a foreign-flagged conventional vessel
that was acquired as part of the Sea Mar Fleet. For additional information
regarding EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, please see Note 10 to the
accompanying data tables.
Upstream Segment. Revenues from the Upstream segment were $83.7 million
for the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $4.7 million, or 6.0%, from
$79.0 million for the same period in 2008. The vessels placed in service
since the second quarter of 2008 under the Company's ongoing newbuild and
conversion programs accounted for a $26.9 million increase in Upstream
revenues. These incremental revenues were partially offset by a $16.4 million
decrease in revenue from lower effective dayrates for the Company's new
generation offshore supply vessels ("OSVs") that were in service during each
of the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and a $5.8 million decrease in
revenue for lower effective dayrates for the Company's conventional OSVs that
were in service during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, but which have either
been stacked or sold on various dates since then. Soft OSV market conditions
in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico ("GoM"), particularly on the shallow Continental
Shelf and in the deepwater transition zone, contributed to Upstream operating
income decreasing 13.9% to $33.4 million, or 39.9% of revenues, for the second
quarter of 2009 from $38.8 million, or 49.1% of revenues, for the second
quarter of 2008. The decreased demand for the Company's 200 class new
generation OSVs led to the decision to stack five such OSVs on various dates
during the second quarter of 2009, and stack a sixth 200 class new generation
OSV in early July 2009. Average new generation OSV dayrates for the second
quarter of 2009 declined to $21,330 compared to $22,168 for the same period in
2008. New generation OSV utilization was 83.6% for the second quarter of 2009
compared to 96.6% for the same period in 2008. Effective new generation OSV
utilization, which excludes the impact of stacked vessels, was 86.6% for the
three months ended June 30, 2009.
Downstream Segment. Revenues from the Downstream segment of $14.2 million
for the second quarter of 2009 decreased by $11.3 million, or 44.3%, compared
to $25.5 million for the same period in 2008. Downstream revenues were
unfavorably impacted by continued lower demand for the Company's ocean-going
tug and tank barge ("TTB") equipment, which resulted in an approximate $5,500,
or 41.0%, decline in fleetwide effective TTB dayrates from the year-ago
quarter. The Company's double-hulled tank barge average dayrates were $19,810
for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $22,449 for the same period in
2008. Utilization for the double-hulled tank barge fleet was 67.2% for the
second quarter of 2009 compared to 93.6% for the same period in 2008. The
decrease in the Company's double-hulled tank barge utilization was the result
of the continued decline in market demand for double-hulled equipment,
particularly black-oil barges. The Company's single-hulled tank barge average
dayrates were $13,302 for the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of $7,189, or
35.1%, from $20,491 for the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily
due to the soft demand for this type of equipment, which has been exacerbated
by incremental newbuild double-hulled tank barge deliveries during the first
half of 2009. In addition, dayrates for the year-ago quarter included the
favorable impact of one single-hulled vessel, which is currently stacked,
performing non-traditional tank barge services to Upstream customers at
premium dayrates. Single-hulled tank barge utilization was 25.2% for the
second quarter of 2009 compared to 37.0% for the same period in 2008. In
recognition of the soft market conditions for single-hulled equipment that
began in the second quarter of 2008, the Company stacked eight single-hulled
tank barges and four lower-horsepower tugs on various dates since April 2008.
Effective single-hulled tank barge utilization, which excludes the impact of
stacked tank barges, was 80.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
General and Administrative ("G&A"). G&A expenses of $7.7 million for the
second quarter of 2009 were 7.9% of revenues compared to $9.4 million, or 9.0%
of revenues, for the second quarter of 2008. Due to proactive cost cutting
measures, second quarter G&A expense margin was below the Company's 2009
annual guidance range of 9% to 10% of revenues. The Company allocated 87% of
its second quarter G&A expenses to the Upstream segment and 13% to the
Downstream segment.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was
$44.3 million for the second quarter of 2009, or $31.3 million higher than the
second quarter of 2008. This increase was substantially due to the previously
discussed $26.7 million of asset and goodwill impairments in the Downstream
segment, as well as the incremental depreciation related to the full- or
partial-quarter contribution from newbuild vessels that were placed in service
since the second quarter of 2008. Other factors driving this increase were
the higher cost of regulatory drydock events, partially offset by the
reduction in depreciation and amortization following the sale of four
conventional OSVs during 2008. Excluding the Downstream impairment charge,
depreciation and amortization expense is expected to continue to increase from
current levels as the vessels remaining under the Company's current newbuild
and conversion programs are placed in service and when these and any other
recently acquired and newly constructed vessels undergo their initial 30-month
and 60-month recertifications.
First Half 2009 Results
Revenues for the first six months of 2009 increased 2.8% to $207.6 million
compared to $202.0 million for the same period in 2008. Operating income was
$50.4 million, or 24.3% of revenues, for the first six months of 2009 compared
to $77.7 million, or 38.5% of revenues, for the prior-year period. Net income
for the first six months of 2009 decreased 43.0% to $27.3 million, or $1.01
per diluted share, compared to $47.9 million, or $1.77 per diluted share for
the first six months of 2008. Excluding the Downstream non-cash impairment
charge in the amount of $26.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, operating
income, net income and diluted EPS for the first half of 2009 were $77.1
million, $44.1 million and $1.63 per share, respectively. The increase in
revenues compared to the prior-year period is due to the incremental
contribution of vessels added to the Company's fleet since the second quarter
of 2008, partially offset by a decline in effective dayrates for vessels that
were operating during both the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009. The
Company's net income for the first six months of 2008 included a $2.0 million
($1.3 million after tax or $0.05 per share) gain on the sale of a
foreign-flagged conventional vessel. On March 19, 2009, the Company sold its
oldest stacked tug, the Stapleton Service, for net cash proceeds of $0.9
million, which resulted in a $0.2 million pre-tax gain ($0.2 million after-tax
or $0.01 per diluted share) in the first half of 2009.
Future Outlook
Based on the key assumptions outlined below and in the attached data
tables, the following statements reflect management's current expectations
regarding future earnings and certain events. These statements are
forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Other than as
expressly stated, these statements do not include the potential impact of any
future capital transactions, such as vessel acquisitions, divestitures,
unexpected vessel repairs and shipyard delays, business combinations,
financings and unannounced newbuild programs that may be commenced after the
date of this disclosure. For additional information concerning
forward-looking statements, please see the note at the end of this news
release.
Recent Developments
Upstream Contract Coverage Continues to Grow. The Company has recently
been awarded multi-year contracts for seven vessels in Latin America and the
Middle East for an aggregate total of approximately 16 vessel-years. The
Company now has 54.2% of its projected new generation OSV vessel-days for the
second half of 2009 committed to time charters, which is up from 42.0% for the
same period as of April 30, 2009. In addition, new generation OSV contract
backlog for fiscal 2010 has grown by 53.1% in the past three months. The
Company currently has 40.8% of its projected new generation OSV vessel-days
for fiscal 2010 committed to time charters, which is up from 27.0% for the
same period as of April 30, 2009.
Downstream Asset and Goodwill Impairment. Effective June 30, 2009, the
Company completed an impairment assessment of the net book values of its
Downstream marine assets, as well as unamortized Downstream segment goodwill
that was booked upon the Company's formation in June 1997. Based on its
analysis, which included recent vessel sales, quoted market prices and
third-party appraisals, the Company recorded a non-cash asset impairment
charge of approximately $25.8 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, related to
ten single-hulled tank barges and six ocean-going tugs. This impairment
charge is reflected in depreciation expense for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2009. The Company's amortization expense for the second quarter of
2009 includes an approximate $0.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share,
non-cash charge for the write-off of remaining goodwill associated with its
Downstream segment.
Accounting for Convertible Senior Notes. In accordance with the required
change in method of accounting for convertible debt instruments issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), effective January 1, 2009, the
Company recorded incremental non-cash original issue discount ("OID") interest
expense, net of capitalized interest, of $0.7 million for the second quarter
of 2009, or $0.03 per diluted share, and expects to record an incremental $4.8
million of such interest for the full-year 2009, or $0.11 per diluted share.
In addition, this new accounting treatment requires retrospective application
to the Company's historical financial results, including long-term debt and
stockholders' equity. For the prior-year three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2008, incremental non-cash OID interest expense, net of
capitalized interest, was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share, and $1.0 million,
or $0.02 per share, respectively, for each such period.
Earnings Outlook
Revised Annual 2009 Guidance. In recognition of its actual results for
the first six months of 2009 and its revised outlook on market conditions for
the remainder of the 2009 guidance period, the Company now expects total
EBITDA for the full-year 2009 to range between $200.0 million and $220.0
million and expects full-year diluted EPS for fiscal 2009 to range between
$2.03 and $2.49. Excluding the special non-cash Downstream impairment charge
and incremental non-cash OID interest expense, adjusted EPS for fiscal 2009 is
expected to range between $2.76 and $3.22.
Key Assumptions. The Company's forward earnings guidance, outlined above
and in the attached data tables, assumes that current Upstream and Downstream
market conditions remain constant. Fleetwide average new generation OSV
dayrates are anticipated to remain in the $20,000 to $22,000 range. However,
fleetwide new generation OSV utilization is anticipated to average in the
mid-70% to low-80% range for the remainder of the fiscal 2009 guidance period,
due in part to the recent stacking of six 200 class new generation OSVs in
mid-2009. The Downstream segment is projected to contribute 2009 EBITDA in
the range of 5% to 7% of the mid-point of the revised company-wide fiscal 2009
guidance range.
The Company's full-year 2009 Upstream guidance includes a partial-year
contribution from additional vessels to be delivered under its MPSV program
and its fourth OSV newbuild program in accordance with the estimated newbuild
delivery expectations discussed below. None of the Company's remaining six
conventional OSVs, all of which are now stacked, are expected to contribute
any operating results for the remainder of the fiscal 2009 guidance period.
The 2009 Downstream guidance reflects an operating fleet comprised solely of
nine double-hulled tank barges and nine ocean-going tugs for the remainder of
the 2009 guidance period.
Due to recent cost cutting measures, the Company expects that cash
operating expenses per vessel-day in fiscal 2009 for its active fleet will be
less than fiscal 2008 levels, excluding contract-related costs recoverable
through higher dayrates or other revenue. The Company is also mitigating the
adverse impact of revenue decreases on its operating margins by stacking
underutilized vessels, which should result in significant additional operating
cost savings and lower the Company's operating risk profile. G&A expenses are
expected to be in the range of 9% to 10% of revenues for the remainder of the
2009 guidance period. The projected annual stock-based compensation expense,
depreciation, amortization and net interest expense that underpin the
Company's diluted EPS guidance for the full-year 2009 are included in the
attached data tables. Projected quarterly stock-based compensation expense,
depreciation, amortization and net interest expense for the quarter ending
September 30, 2009 are expected to be $2.3 million, $11.3 million, $4.9
million and $4.9 million, respectively. The Company's annual effective tax
rate is expected to be 37.1% for fiscal 2009.
Capital Expenditures Outlook
Update on Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Please refer to the attached
data table for a summary, by period, of historical and projected data for each
of the following three major categories of maintenance capital expenditures:
(i) deferred drydocking charges; (ii) other vessel capital improvements and
(iii) non-vessel related capital expenditures. The Company expects total
maintenance capital expenditures for the full-year 2009 to be approximately
$25.9 million. Over the next couple of years beyond 2009, the Company expects
that its annually recurring maintenance capital expenditure budget, inclusive
of regulatory drydockings, for its growing fleet of vessels will range between
$35.0 million and $45.0 million per year.
Update on MPSV Program. The Company's MPSV program consists of the
conversion of two U.S.-flagged coastwise sulfur tankers at domestic shipyards
into 370 class DP-2 new generation MPSVs and the construction of two T-22
class DP-3 new generation MPSV newbuilds in foreign shipyards. The first two
vessels under this program, the T-22 class DP-3 MPSV, HOS Achiever, and the
converted DP-2 MPSV, HOS Centerline, were placed in service in October 2008
and late March 2009, respectively. The last two vessels under this program,
the T-22 MPSV, HOS Iron Horse, and converted DP-2 MPSV, HOS Strongline, are
expected to be placed in service during the fourth quarter of 2009. With
these in-service dates, the Company expects to own and operate an average MPSV
fleet complement of 2.1 vessels for the fiscal year 2009. Based on internal
estimates, the aggregate cost of this program is expected to be approximately
$475.0 million. From the inception of this program through June 30, 2009, the
Company has incurred $437.7 million, or 92.1%, of total expected project
costs, including $18.7 million incurred during the second quarter of 2009.
Update on OSV Newbuild Program #4. The Company's fourth OSV newbuild
program consists of vessel construction contracts with three domestic
shipyards to build six 240 ED class OSVs, nine 250 EDF class OSVs and one 290
class OSV, respectively. Eleven of these 16 new generation DP-2 OSVs have
been awarded customer contracts prior to their shipyard delivery. Nine OSVs
have been placed in service under this program on various dates since May
2008, including the latest two vessels, the HOS Black Powder and HOS Westwind,
which commenced operations in late June 2009 under multi-year charters
performing military support services. The remaining seven OSVs under this
newbuild program are expected to be placed in service in accordance with the
schedule shown in the table below:
3Q2009E 4Q2009E 1Q2010E 2Q2010E 3Q2010E 4Q2010E
Estimated
In-Service
Dates:
240 ED class OSVs - 2 - - - -
250 EDF class OSVs - 1 2 1 1 -
- 3 2 1 1 -
Based on the above schedule of projected vessel in-service dates, the
Company expects to own and operate 47 and 51 new generation OSVs as of
December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. These vessel additions result in a
projected average new generation OSV fleet complement of 43.2 and 49.8 vessels
for the fiscal years 2009 and 2010, respectively. Inclusive of the vessel
deliveries referred to above, the aggregate cost of the Company's fourth OSV
newbuild program is expected to be approximately $450.0 million. From the
inception of this program through June 30, 2009, the Company has incurred
$357.6 million, or 79.5%, of total expected project costs, including $45.7
million incurred during the second quarter of 2009.
Please refer to the attached data tables for a summary, by period, of
historical and projected data for each of the contracted growth initiatives
outlined above. All of the above capital costs and delivery date estimates
for contracted growth initiatives are based on the latest available
information and are subject to change. All of the figures set forth above
represent expected cash outlays and do not include the allocation of
construction period interest.
Update on Liquidity. The Company believes that its current working
capital, available capacity under its existing revolving credit facility and
projected cash flows from operations for the fiscal years 2009 and 2010 will
be sufficient to meet its anticipated operating needs, as well as the total
remaining cash requirements under its MPSV and OSV newbuild programs of
approximately $129.7 million. These construction payments are expected to be
incurred over the next 18 months ($95.5 million in the remainder of 2009 and
$34.2 million in 2010), as outlined in greater detail in the attached data
tables. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $21.8 million of cash and
approximately $64.1 million of credit immediately available under its $250.0
million revolving credit facility. The total amount outstanding under the
Company's revolving credit facility at quarter-end was $185.0 million. The
Company is in compliance with all applicable financial covenants of its debt
obligations. Its three principal long-term debt obligations do not mature
until September 2011, December 2014 and October 2026, the latter of which may,
under certain conditions, be subject to early maturity in October 2013.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated
by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company
discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future.
Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts,
such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and
projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify
forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like
"anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect,"
"forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict,"
"project," "should" or "will" or other comparable words or the negative of
such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs
and projections depend on events or conditions that change over time and are
thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and
known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the
forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any
duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from
the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of
reasons, which include: the Company's inability to successfully or timely
complete its various vessel construction and conversion programs, especially
its MPSV program, which involves the construction and integration of highly
complex vessels and systems; changes in its vessel construction and conversion
budgets; less than anticipated success in marketing and operating its MPSVs,
which are a class of vessels that the Company does not have a long history of
owning or operating; the inability of our MPSVs to perform the services for
which they were designed; further weakening of demand for the Company's
services; inability to effectively curtail operating expenses from stacked
vessels; the potential for valuation impairment charges; the inability to sell
or otherwise dispose of non-core assets on acceptable terms; unplanned
customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel
charters or failures to finalize commitments to charter vessels; an adverse
ruling in the Superior Achiever adversary proceeding; industry risks; further
reductions in capital spending budgets by customers; further decline in oil
and natural gas prices; increases in operating costs; the inability to
accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; less than
anticipated subsea infrastructure demand activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico
and other markets; the level of fleet additions by competitors that could
result in over-capacity; economic and political risks including those that are
the result of proposed changes to policies and laws currently being
considered in the United States; weather related risks; the risk of pandemics
such as swine flu; the inability to attract and retain qualified marine
personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the
Jones Act; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel
accidents or pollution incidents resulting in lost revenue or expenses that
are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected
litigation and insurance expenses; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations
compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign
operations. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by
continued volatility or further deterioration in capital markets and the
worldwide economic downturn, inflation, deflation, or other adverse economic
conditions that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business
resulting in their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to the
Company, such as the failure of shipyards and major suppliers to complete
orders or the failure by banks to provide expected funding under the Company's
credit agreement. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties
materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the
Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results
may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements,
and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected. Additional factors that you should consider
are set forth in detail in the Risk Factors section of the Company's most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings the Company has
made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after
their filings, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.
Regulation G Reconciliation
This press release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial
measures of earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company
views EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as liquidity measures and,
therefore, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable
to such measures is cash flows provided by operating activities.
Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to cash flows provided by
operating activities are provided in the table below. Management's opinion
regarding the usefulness of EBITDA to investors and a description of the ways
in which management uses such measure can be found in the Company's most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as well as in Note 10 to the attached data tables.

1 Represents other income and expenses, including gains or losses
related to foreign currency exchange and minority interests in income
or loss from unconsolidated entities.
2 Stock options representing rights to acquire 201 and 430 shares of
common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively, were excluded from the calculation
of diluted earnings per share, because the effect was antidilutive
after considering the exercise price of the options in comparison to
the average market price, proceeds from exercise, taxes, and related
unamortized compensation. For the six months ended June 30, 2009,
stock options representing the rights to acquire 421 shares of common
stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per
share because the effect was anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2009,
December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the 1.625% convertible senior
notes were not dilutive, as the average price of the Company's stock
was less than the effective conversion price of $62.59 for such notes.
3 The Company owned 44 new generation OSVs as of June 30, 2009. Nine
newbuild OSVs were placed in service under the Company's fourth OSV
newbuild program on various dates throughout 2008 and the first half
of 2009. Excluded from this data are 10 conventional OSVs that were
acquired in August 2007, including the Cape Scott, which was sold in
May 2008, and the Cape Cod, Cape San Lucas, and Cape Spencer, which
were sold in August 2008. The Company considers the six remaining
conventional OSVs to be non-core assets, all of which are currently
stacked. In addition, the Company elected to stack five 200 class new
generation OSVs during the second quarter of 2009 and a sixth 200
class new generation OSV in July 2009.
4 Average utilization rates are average rates based on a 365-day year.
Vessels are considered utilized when they are generating revenues.
5 Effective utilization rate is based on a denominator comprised only
of vessel-days available for service by the active fleet, which
excludes the impact of stacked vessel days.
6 Average new generation OSV dayrate represents average revenue per
day, which includes charter hire, crewing services, and net brokerage
revenues, based on the number of days during the period that the OSVs
generated revenues.
7 Effective dayrate represents the average dayrate multiplied by the
utilization rate for the respective period.
8 The averages for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
include the Energy 6508, a double-hulled tank barge delivered under
the Company's second TTB newbuild program in March 2008.
9 Average dayrates represent average revenue per day, including time
charters, brokerage revenue, revenues generated on a per-barrel-
transported basis, demurrage, shipdocking and fuel surcharge revenue,
based on the number of days during the period that the tank barges
generated revenue. For purposes of brokerage arrangements, this
calculation excludes that portion of revenue that is equal to the
cost paid by customers of in-chartering third party equipment.
10 Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The Company discloses and discusses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial
measure in its public releases, including quarterly earnings
releases, investor conference calls and other filings with the
Commission. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (net income)
before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The
Company's measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate
EBITDA differently than the Company, which may limit its usefulness
as a comparative measure.
The Company views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as
such, believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly
comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities.
Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated
in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for operating income, net income or loss, cash flows
provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other
income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA is widely used by investors and other users of the Company's
financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when
viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, the
Company believes provides additional information that is useful to
gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ability
to service debt, pay deferred taxes and fund drydocking charges and
other maintenance capital expenditures. The Company also believes
the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and
compare its cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and
year to year.
EBITDA is also a financial metric used by management (i) as a
supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall
expectations and for evaluating actual results against such
expectations; (ii) as a significant criteria for annual incentive
cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers and other shore-
based employees; (iii) to compare to the EBITDA of other companies
when evaluating potential acquisitions; and (iv) to assess the
Company's ability to service existing fixed charges and incur
additional indebtedness.
In addition, the Company also makes certain adjustments, as
applicable, to EBITDA for losses on early extinguishment of debt, FAS
123R stock-based compensation expense and interest income, or
Adjusted EBITDA, to compute ratios used in certain financial
covenants of its credit agreements with various lenders and bond
investors. The Company believes that these ratios are material
components of such financial covenants and failure to comply with
such covenants could result in the acceleration of indebtedness or
the imposition of restrictions on the Company's financial flexibility.
Set forth below are the material limitations associated with using
EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided
by operating activities.
* EBITDA does not reflect the future capital expenditure
requirements that may be necessary to replace the Company's
existing vessels as a result of normal wear and tear,
* EBITDA does not reflect the interest, future principal payments
and other financing-related charges necessary to service the debt
that the Company has incurred in acquiring and constructing its
vessels,
* EBITDA does not reflect the deferred income taxes that the
Company will eventually have to pay once the Company is no
longer in an overall tax net operating loss carry-forward
position, as applicable, and
* EBITDA does not reflect changes in the Company's net working
capital position.
Management compensates for the above-described limitations in using
EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure by only using EBITDA to
supplement the Company's GAAP results.
11 "Pro Forma Run-Rate -- Low" scenario illustrates the estimated
operating results from the Company's current and projected fleet
complement, including any recently acquired or constructed vessels
that have been placed in service since December 31, 2008, as well as
those vessels currently under construction or conversion under the
Company's fourth OSV newbuild program and MPSV program, assuming all
such vessels were placed in service as of January 1, 2009 and were
working at their fiscal 2009 contracted dayrates or fiscal 2009 spot
market dayrates, as applicable, commensurate with their relative size
and service capabilities. "Pro Forma Run-Rate -- High" scenario
illustrates the estimated operating results from the Company's
current and projected fleet complement, including any recently
acquired or constructed vessels that have been placed in service
since December 31, 2008, as well as those vessels currently under
construction or conversion under the Company's fourth OSV newbuild
program and MPSV program, assuming all such vessels were placed in
service as of January 1, 2008 and were working at their fiscal 2008
contracted dayrates or fiscal 2008 spot market dayrates, as
applicable, commensurate with their relative size and service
capabilities. All other key assumptions related to the Company's
current and projected operating fleet, including utilization, cash
operating expenses, delivery dates, drydocking schedule, G&A and
income tax expense, are consistent with the mid-point of the
Company's latest 2009 guidance above. After all vessels now under
construction or conversion are delivered and the outstanding balance
under the revolving credit facility is repaid in full, interest
expense is expected to return to an annual post-construction period
run-rate of $35.2 on a projected debt balance of $550.0, offset by
$0.3 of interest income to be generated on a projected minimum cash
balance of approximately $20.0. The interest expense of $35.2
includes $10.1 of incremental non-cash OID interest expense that
resulted from the Company's recent adoption of new accounting rules
effective January 1, 2009.
12 Represents incremental non-cash OID interest expense resulting from
the recent adoption of new accounting standards pertaining to our
Convertible Senior Notes. See "New Accounting Rule for Convertible
Senior Notes" in the Future Outlook section of this press release.
13 Projected weighted-average diluted shares do not reflect any
potential dilution resulting from the Company's 1.625% convertible
senior notes. The Company's convertible senior notes become dilutive
when the average price of the Company's stock exceeds the effective
conversion price of $62.59 for such notes.
14 Diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, excludes the incremental
impact of the recent adoption of new accounting standards pertaining
to our Convertible Senior Notes. See "New Accounting Rule for
Convertible Senior Notes" in the Future Outlook section of this press
release for more information.
15 Projected cash flows provided by operating activities are based, in
part, on estimated future "changes in working capital" and "changes
in other, net," that are susceptible to significant variances due to
the timing at quarter-end of cash inflows and outflows, most of which
are beyond the Company's ability to control. However, any future
variances in those two line items from the above forward looking
reconciliations should result in an equal and opposite adjustment to
actual cash flows provided by operating activities.
16 The capital expenditure amounts included in this table are cash
outlays before the allocation of construction period interest, as
applicable.
